This is the debut album for Stef Chura called¬†Messes.¬†Saddle Creek is offering a Split Yellow & Orange version of this limited to 150. She has a sold sound and unique vocals, which is definitely worth consideration.

Stef Chura‚Äôs debut studio album, Messes, is born of her years of experience playing around the Michigan underground, setting up DIY shows in the area, and moving around the state. ‚ÄúRight when it starts to feel like home/It‚Äôs time to go,‚ÄĚ she sings on its opening cut, ‚ÄėSlow Motion‚Äô, a twisty, dim-lit guitar pop song where she curls and stretches every word. There are worlds of emotion in the ways Chura pronounces phrases with twang and grit, alternatingly full of despair, playfulness, and abandon. Chura calls her music ‚Äúemotional collage,‚ÄĚ eschewing start-to-finish storylines in favor of writing intuitively about feelings, drawing from experiences and references related to a certain sentiment.

I hail from the "Oregon Bayou", south of Portland, as an isolated rare vinyl enthusiast scouting West Coast bands for insider information. My music preferences are genres that make me feel anything. Anything at all. I need to feel something... Genres that make me feel more than others tend to be Alternative Wonky, Space Folk, and Chamber Rap, but I'm not exclusive in the slightest.
